Solitary

I hope that people will live and learn. Jumping into a relationship directly after getting out of one gives you no time to recover, to reflect on the past and does nothing but fill a void. You can't replace people.

I see you filling a void emotions are not to be toyed with, but you are numb; too dumb to learn from your past and unwilling to listen to those who truly cared for you. loneliness and isolation go hand-in-hand she needs you like she'd need any other man and you need me, but you won't set your mind free from the chains and straps that restrain your emotions and body from feeling pain. dwindling cycle of drinking and clouds of smoke you think it's all fun until you choke on the bitter taste of reality and you're soon to see it's nothing but solitary
